All -
First, everyone should have triplicates of all their car keys stored
at their house, both classics and daily drivers. That's Job
One.
*************
So here is my solution, which was effective when I needed to pop the
trunk of a late 50s Mopar in a salvage yard.
I purchased a telescopic paint roller extension. Then I cut off
the handle of a flat head screwdriver and installed the blade end in the
paint roller extension.
Remove the rear seat, giving you access to the trunk area. Then
insert the tool thru the open area, blade side first. Extend the tool enough so
that the blade will connect with the horseshoe that holds the lock in place from
the back. A few sharp movements of the tool will pop the horseshoe. Then
remove the lock from the outside and use a flat blade screwdriver to rotate the
latch assembly until the trunk pops.

Fellow Members,
At a car show on Friday I managed to lock all the keys to my 300E
in the trunk. Two different locksmiths could not open it and I had to have
the cylinder drilled out (old age is great!). Does anyone have a deck lid
(trunk) lock with the appropriate keys that you would like to sell? I
believe the correct part number is 1843920 and it appears applicable to all
Mopars except the Imperial. Thanks for checking.
